A U.S. Navy destroyer this week sailed near the #Scarborough_Shoal, a disputed lagoon claimed by China in the South China Sea, U.S. officials said on Saturday, and Beijing vowed to take “necessary measures” to protect what it said was its sovereignty.
China’s foreign ministry said USS Hopper missile destroyer came within 12 nautical miles off #Huangyan_island, better known as the Scarborough Shoal and subject to a rival claim by the Philippines, a historic ally of the United States.
